When starting a discussion about a specific show episode, please put the air date and name of the program (and title if you know it) in the subject line. (ie: Lost, “Man of Science, Man of Faith,” 11/16.)

But with the program and episode name, I think you would be silly to not be prepared for it to be a show episode, unless the title said "no spoilers" or something.

Doesn't the episode name in the thread title automatically make it an episode thread?

While technically not following the rules of naming, it's an episode thread for sure, the OP is asking about an item that happened specifically in the episode and effectively would require a spoiler if it were not an episode thread... at least in my book.

I was wrong, I didn't have padding for Grimm.. Darn, guess I'll check if the very ending is useful online, or record the On Demand to my other recorder (since they won't let me FF) and then just watch the very ending later.

It happened again. The 3/15 episode of Grimm "Natural Born Wesen" was cut off one minute before the ending on NBC's West Coast affiliate KNTV. The following program, Rock Center, began at 10pm and started by showing the last minute of Grimm but ended at its scheduled time of 11pm with no cutoff.

I now consider this a pattern and will add one minute of padding for all future new episodes of Grimm.

The sparks zip around her bed. She looks over the edge of the bed and find that the bed is now suspended in the same type of dark pit as shown earlier in the episode.

She then retreats back to the center of the bed and gathers the blankets around herself.

A highly distorted voice then says in the background:

"I just want you to know the truth. I just want you to know the truth."

Spoiler:

The voice became less distored and, to my ear, sounded quite a bit like Nick by the end.

I think those gaping pits are visual representations of the holes in her memory and she's starting to remember; this time she's starting to remember the conversation where Nick told her about the Grimms and Wessen

Yes, that is exactly what I think is happening. The fact that

she could walk over the pit and it self healed would represent the memories getting restored.

I'm not trying to be a jerk, but this has been happening on many shows for a very long time. That's a major reason I got a Premiere 4.. so I could pad as many shows as possible.

AFAIK, NBC was the one who started this, at least for the broadcast networks.. (with 'er' in the mid-late 90s.. started a minute or more early, and the schedule didn't show it). All shows on various networks (History, Discovery, E!) have to be padded one minute late, or you miss the very ending, which goes a small fraction of a minute over the hour.

No, I watch tons of network TV. But (at least in this market) the shows generally start and stop like a metronome. Until Grimm the past couple of weeks.

There have been times in the past when people have complained about shows getting cut off and I haven't had the same problem. I suspect my local network affiliates are just really good at keeping things exactly on schedule.

I am well aware of this. I have to pad the beginning of The Simpsons, and the end of Modern Family.
But Grimm has not needed padding until now.
You have to agree that this sort of thing is irritating when it happens where it didn't happen before, right?

Yes, I definitely agree, that's why I default to having padding until I "prove" it doesn't need it or I have a conflict.. though it can start needing padding again like in this case.

Wow, just watched the VERY ending on nbc.com (hey, they only made me "watch" (mute computer) two sets of commercials, not one for every 'break' I try to skip like some sites), and wow, I did miss an important bit.. I had thought it ended with the main dude (I'm bad with names) on the floor.

Anyone watch Grimm last night? It's not a show I favor, but my wife likes it. Unfortunately, for last night's episode, "Face Off" I think it was called, the TiVo finished recording before the show actually ended (and yes, I do blame the network and not the TiVo).

The main character--and like I said, I don't really watch the show so I have no idea what anyone's name is--had just finished drinking some potion and writhing on the floor, then the "action" flipped back to Europe, and the Keep or Delete box popped up.

I Googled for some recaps, but the one I found ended at the same point as the TiVo, with what's-his-name collapsed on the floor. If anyone watched, could you do my wife a favor and let us know what happened? Thanks!

This happen on my cable DVR also, so it was not the TiVo. I now pad Grimm. It starting to reach the point where everything need to be padded.
